Chapter 783: A United Front for Victory
After the liaison officer returned, he immediately conveyed Prabakar's words to the members of the Union.
Prabakar's intentions were clear; he had no desire to involve himself in a dispute unrelated to him, but he was willing to make a gesture of support to appease the Union's request.
As a fighter from the Linax Federation, his decision was understandable, and he could only do so much.
This provided a slight psychological relief to the Union delegation, so after further discussion, they decided to heed Prabakar's suggestion and use some of the fighters' requirements to pacify them for the time being.
Since the Municipal Parliament was responsible for this matter, they had to pressure the Parliament and urge them to resolve it promptly.
The Parliament, upon receiving the Union's "suggestion," took it very seriously.
Although the "Spider Guard" had entered a combat standby state, and there was no immediate movement from Chen Chuan's side, their anxiety remained high.
It was challenging to predict a fighter's intentions, especially when they had not signed any binding agreements and possessed absolute power. There was always the possibility that they might act on a whim and lose their restraint.
This was not impossible, so they decided to handle the situation as quickly as possible.
Their greatest concern, however, was the Government Hall. They feared that Chen Chuan, influenced by the Government Hall, might take violent action against the entire Parliament. This possibility seemed unlikely at the moment, but in this time of extreme insecurity, any potential threat was magnified in their minds.
After much debate, the Parliament finally devised a plan and prepared to find a negotiator with connections to the Government Hall.
Just then, they received news that a fighter sent by the Refinement Sect was already on his way to Central City and would arrive soon. This news thrilled them, so they decided to postpone the negotiation until the fighter's arrival, hoping to avoid making too many concessions.
Qiao Yang finally understood. In his impression, Chen Chuan was still the investigation officer at the Handling Bureau, but his mindset hadn't shifted yet. Once one became a fighter, they essentially stepped out of the original system, at least not within the local system's constraints. They couldn't just do whatever they wanted.
He quickly apologized, saying, "Chancellor, I've oversimplified the matter."
Qi Weizhao said, "We didn't consider it before, but we can think about it now, and it's not too late.
I've seen the reports from the Defense Department. Once we consolidate the old Imperial Household's long-established territories in the Fusion Zone, we can support the supply of two, or even three fighters.
In the end, the world's competition is a contest of resources, manpower, and material strength. With this Fusion Zone, even if we do nothing now, we can still rely on our hard power to crush the opposition. This is the key to breaking the stalemate.
As for Director Chen, we should show our sincerity at this moment and present the conditions we can offer. It's up to him to decide; we don't need to make the choice for him."
Qiao Yang sincerely said, "Yes, Chancellor, you're right."
Qi Weizhao said, "Let's arrange it. I'll meet with Director Chen first, and then..." He stopped Qiao Yang, who was about to take action, "Given the current situation, it's not appropriate for me to meet with him, nor for him to come see me. So, let's communicate via the field display for now."
Qiao Yang nodded and said, "Okay, Chancellor, I'll make the arrangements."
At that moment, Chen Chuan was in his office, reviewing reports from various regions on the field display.
Those involved with Han Fu and external parties were all arrested and gradually being escorted to headquarters.
Just then, an internal signal appeared on the screen. After seeing it, he tapped to connect, and a middle-aged man in his fifties appeared on the screen. His temples were slightly white, his face and body were lean, his eyes were large and spirited, and his lips were tightly pursed, giving off an air of maturity and authority.
"Director Chen, I'm Chancellor Qi Weizhao. This is our first meeting, but I've heard and seen a lot about you. I should have visited you in person this time, but given the current situation, if we meet, many people might lose sleep. So, we'll use this method to meet for now."
Chen Chuan said, "Chancellor Qi, you're too kind."
Qi Weizhao said, "Director Chen, I'm aware of the slander and defamation against you. As the Chancellor, I'm deeply concerned about the safety of Central City, but I also respect Director Chen's personal wishes and interests. I'd like to ask Director Chen, regarding this matter, how far do you intend to take it?"
Chen Chuan didn't hide his thoughts. He said, "All personnel directly involved in this matter need to be dealt with accordingly. Additionally, the Gray Shell Agency, which intervened in the Handling Bureau's affairs, cannot be allowed to exist. Everyone registered with them must be arrested or eliminated."
Qi Weizhao's expression turned serious. He said, "All direct participants in this incident, including the managers of the Emergency Task Center and the two legislators involved, will receive due punishment. As for the Gray Shell Agency, I also promise that regardless of their background, there will be no leniency.
Director Chen, aside from this, do you have any other requests?"
Chen Chuan said, "My responsibility is to handle matters at the Handling Bureau. As long as they don't interfere with my work, I have no interest in dealing with them."
Qi Weizhao observed him for a moment and nodded slightly, his expression relaxing a bit. He said, "Director Chen, do you have any personal needs that I can help with? As the Chancellor, I believe I have some authority."
Seeing Chen Chuan's thoughtful look, he said, "In that case, I'll have my secretary, Qiao Yang, contact you. He can fully represent me."
Chen Chuan considered it for a moment and said, "Then, thank you."
Qi Weizhao added, "Director Chen, be cautious of the Pure Sect and the Fusion Sect."
Chen Chuan glanced at him and nodded.
Qi Weizhao returned the nod, and his figure disappeared from the screen.
Chen Chuan sat in his seat, pondering for a while, then continued handling his work. After finishing, he checked the time; it was already evening.
He poured himself a hot drink and carefully sensed the changes within his body. The energy gained from breaking through the limit was still gushing forth, continuously driving and transforming his body.
This was an experience every fighter went through after breaking through the limit, and the duration of the transformation varied from person to person. He had learned from Principal Yao that most fighters would go through this for about two to three days.
He didn't know how long it would last for him, but he understood the importance of sustained energy for self-improvement. Despite the current situation, even though the chances were not high, he still needed to prepare for potential battles with opponents of the same level. Therefore, during this time, he had to find a way to absorb more energy, and his cultivation couldn't stop.
